About: I'm a natural with animals and your dog/dogs are sure to love me. I'm an active person, so playing with your dogs won't be a question. I am a Husky-mom so I'm used to many personalities! I work fully remote so taking care of your fur babies will never be an issue! I have an amazing space dedicated solely to dogs. I have a 360 square foot temperature-regulated patio with couches, soft spaces, and water dishes dedicated to the dogs. This patio opens up to a huge fenced in backyard. This space is enriching and full of playtime for your dogs!! The dogs also have full reign of the house and are well-watched throughout their stay. I've had about 8 years of dog care experience and am excited to take care of more dogs. If your dog has any special interests or things they like to do, I would love to do those things with him/her. I also love just relaxing with a pup by my side, so if your dog likes that, I can dig that, too. I work remotely during the day, but have flexibility to come home/walk dogs/drop by, etc. I have fostered dogs and cats for over 2 years and would love to have a “job” working with dogs!! I love hanging out with dogs. I work fully remote so taking care of your fur babies will never be an issue! Your pets will always be in a safe, monitored space. Weekdays are available for doggy daycare, dog walking and dog drop-ins. Weekends are sporadic but sometimes have availability for walks or drop-ins! I am very considerate of each family and pets’ needs. I know routines and consistency are important so I’m very happy to accommodate those whatever they may be!
About: Every dog is different and I can adapt to his or her personality. I have two doodles, and a German Shorthaired Pointer of my own. Animals are my passion and I would love nothing more than to spend time with as many furry friends as possible. I work from home in the Northland Monday through Friday. My schedule allows plenty of flexibility to come and go when a furry friend needs me. For my dogs, food time is taken very seriously as I'm sure it is in every home! I feed my pets twice a day and provide fresh water. Treats are always given after potty of course! There will be nicknames and tons of pets!!!

About: Growing up in a household where I wasn’t allowed to have a pet of my own, I searched for every chance to spend time with furry friends. I spent a lot of time at neighbors’ and friends’ houses playing with and pet-sitting their dogs, studying a variety of dog breeds, and watching pet shows like “Too Cute” on Animal Planet. In middle school I volunteered at the animal shelter and in high school I was exposed to many therapy dogs at the hospital. Finally, 7 years ago I got a shih-poo of my own and it’s been such a joy getting to spoil her rotten. Dogs bring us so much light, love, and companionship so they deserve to be treated with utmost care and pampered to their heart’s content! I will make sure your precious pet gets the attention it needs so that you can live your life care free and they can live theirs cared for! I am not currently working so I have plenty of time to spend with your furry friend! My availability is completely open for walks, check ins, and whatever and however much care your pet may need! I have a large fenced in yard with ample space for your pet and I to play and run around in. My shih-poo can keep your four-legged friend company or can be caged up, whichever you and your pet are comfortable with. I have a variety of dog treats that your pup is welcome to as well.

About: I bring over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs with a calm, dependable, and loving approach. I understand how important consistency, exercise, routine, and affection are for dogs to feel secure and happy while you’re away. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, older, or simply loves companionship, I tailor care to their personality and needs. I’m attentive, communicative, and focused on making sure your dog feels safe, engaged, and genuinely cared for. I work from home, which allows me to be present, flexible, and attentive throughout the day. I’m able to give pets consistent companionship, regular walks or play sessions, feeding on schedule, and plenty of check-ins rather than leaving them alone for long stretches. Because I work remotely, I can easily adapt to a pet’s needs and routine while making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never overlooked. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and sense of ease at home always come first with me. I care for your space and your animals the way I would my own - with respect, attentiveness, and genuine care. I’m mindful about doors, leashes, routines, feeding schedules, medications, and keeping things clean, calm, and low-stress. I pay close attention to how your pet is feeling and behaving, so you can be away knowing they’re safe, settled, and truly looked after.
About: I understand that your pets are family. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I offer pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, waste cleanup, playtime, companionship, medication administration (if needed), and lots of love and attention tailored to your pet’s routine. Whether you have energetic dogs, independent cats, or multiple pets, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and treat every home with the same respect I would my own. I believe in clear communication and will gladly provide updates and photos so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away. Because I am a full-time online student, my schedule is incredibly flexible, allowing me to make pet sitting my top priority. Unlike a traditional 9-to-5 job where I would be away from the house all day, my school structure allows me to work entirely from home on my own terms. This means I have ample open blocks of time throughout the day dedicated solely to pet care. I can easily accommodate structured feeding times, frequent potty breaks, and mid-day play sessions without interruption. Your pets will receive consistent companionship, and because I'm studying from my laptop, I am available to provide the constant supervision, love, and attention they deserve." When caring for pets in your home, my primary goal is to maintain their regular routine so they feel safe and secure while you are away. Seamless Routine Adherence: I strictly follow your established feeding schedules, medication timelines, and specific instructions to keep their environment predictable and stress-free. Meticulous Cat Care: As a multi-cat owner myself, I know the importance of a clean environment. I scoop litter boxes thoroughly during every visit and sweep up any tracked litter. Quality Companionship: Because my full-time student schedule is so flexible, I don't just rush in and out. I dedicate genuine time to interactive playtime with their favorite toys, gentle grooming, or just quiet companionship on the couch while I study. Home Respect & Communication: I respect your space, leave it exactly as I found it, and provide you with detailed daily updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how they are doing.
About: I have a genuine love for animals and take great pride in providing reliable, caring pet-sitting services. Having grown up on a farm, I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, from household pets to livestock. This background has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all kinds. I treat every pet as if it were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I attend school online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to travel for pet-sitting jobs and even stay overnight when needed, as long as there’s Wi-Fi so I can keep up with my classes. Since I’m currently applying for more jobs, my availability is open and adaptable, making it easy for me to provide consistent, reliable care for pets whenever I’m needed. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routines as closely as possible so the pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also take time to clean up after them, whether that’s refreshing litter boxes, wiping paws, or tidying up their spaces. If I’m staying overnight, I make sure the home stays neat and the pets get extra attention and companionship. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and loving environment while keeping the owner’s home just as they left it.
